Jubilee: Festival of Black History & Culture

Virtual Attendance Only

On September 19, 2020, Historic Columbia (HC) held a virtual Jubilee: Festival of Black History & Culture presented by Bank of America. Despite the ongoing pandemic, the community found a way to continue coming together in celebration of South Carolina’s Black history and culture. 

  • The three-hour festival featured a virtual tour of the Mann-Simons Site and a preview of new exhibits at the Modjeska Monteith Simkins House.  
  • Viewers heard from generations of Columbia activists as they shared their stories of inspiration and achievement from the 20th century to today’s Black Lives Matter movement.  
  • Musical guests included AE the Cool, hip-hop artists Anfernee and Matt Monday, as well as IndigoSOUL.
